The only question I want to ask is : what Sundance was drinking ?


SC2 is the best game to watch and was the best to play before I grew old and slow...

Please can people read what he said?


It didn't work otherwise why change it? Did so well so to much money? Yeah right, It doesn't matter what Sundance now says, we all heard him explaining over and over why he introduced PPV. A successful tournament (i still doubt it was that successful) doesn't change that and the sponsor he talks about is probably one of the Arena sponsors who is pissed off because only the Arena's got like 4/5k viewers, you get more exposure from sponsoring Idra's stream.

There's no way in hell the sponsors were happy about the Arena's and that combined with the LoL Arena's, which no one will pay for, they cant go full PPV for SC2 as well.

It's all a big mess and it doesn't surprise me at all.

I cannot neglect the idea Sundance has been watching Robert Ohlen on the GD Studio about paywalls and such. Still, very nice of MLG. No disrepect ofcourse.

<3 this decision!!! For me it will be the second time I can watch an arena for free, since the first time, I was at a barcraft, and it was obviously free to watch.

I wonder why they went from 20$ to 0. They could have milked it out a little more.

Lets just make up some numbers for point of argument. If I make arenas PPV and made 100k dollars than thats a profit and I can live with that. If a major sponsor comes along and with that sponsorship I have the chance of 200k dollars profit if I make it free than success of model or not I will take the road that makes me more money.

Probably because its what the new major sponsor wanted. If they got a big new sponsor I can imagine them wanting to maximize viewer base.

MLG has been running free streams since 2003. Don't attack a league you know nothing about.
